The destruction of the empire: Our history is 1941-1964. At the peak

The history of the Russian and Soviet twentieth century was rewritten many times. Both past generations, and already before our eyes.
In the middle of our twentieth century, the most tragic, cruel, shameful, heroic and glorious events in our entire history fell. First of all, they are connected with the war, which so far for various reasons does not give us rest. After the war - hopes for a new life that were crumpled and erased by the late Stalin. His death is a shock for the country, an occasion for an acute struggle at the top of the party leadership and the departure from the mass terror system. And finally - the time that will later receive the name "Thaw". This word is the condemnation of Stalin, and the return from the camps, and the new poetry, the theater, music, and the flight of Gagarin. The time of new illusions.
The book presents documentary evidence of the era: fragments of diaries, memoirs, letters and interviews of actors
